I'm a 24-year-old man (it still feels very strange to me to think that I am indeed now a man) who live in London, UK.
I'm just spending my days in numbness. I'm ignoring the obvious fact that my life is rapidly unravelling.
I have, I would say, one friend. A friend, to me at the moment, means someone who I feel comfortable about phoning up to go out with on a Friday night safe in the knowledge that, should they say yes, they would want to be there, it's not just that they're stuck for something else to do. They wanted to be out with me on a Friday night.
I hate weekends. Weekdays you can tell yourself that everyone's at home watching TV or whatever, which is in large part true. Friday and Saturday it's totally different.
It's 3:39am here now as I type this word. I'll be coming back here for the next few weeks at least. Hope to see you around.
Here's something I read in the papers over here a few days back: The Article
How to choose your inner circle: With friends like these...
... you are set up for a happy life. We all need people to trust and laugh with. And new research shows you how to pick them. Katy Guest reports

When Aristotle was asked, in the 4th century BC, what defines a friend, he had no doubts. A friend is "one soul inhabiting two bodies", he said, adding: "Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods."
In 2006, it is a little more complicated. A startling in the American Sociological Review, found 25 per cent of Americans do not have a single friend. That is, nobody "with whom to discuss matters important to them", said the researchers. The average number of friends was two.
